SUMMARY:
Tums (calcium carbonate) and Pepcid (famotidine) are generally compatible and do not have a clinically significant interaction; they can be used together for immediate symptom relief (antacid) and longer-lasting acid suppression (H2 blocker).
ADDITIONAL NOTES:
Tums is a calcium-based antacid that neutralizes stomach acid quickly; famotidine is an H2 blocker that reduces acid production. Using both is commonly done and typically safe, though it may be somewhat redundant for acid control. If you take other medications, antacids can affect absorption of some drugs — space dosing as advised by a clinician or pharmacist. Seek care if you develop new or worsening symptoms (severe abdominal pain, allergic reaction).
